An HT (High Tension) capacitor bank is a large assembly of high-voltage capacitors used in electrical power systems to improve the power factor by compensating for reactive power. They reduce energy costs, decrease voltage drop, and lessen the burden on transformers, leading to improved power supply efficiency. These banks can be found in various configurations, such as indoor or outdoor, fixed or automatic, and are built with components like single or three-phase capacitor units, isolators, and protection relays.
